I'm Starting To Like This Cupcake Son Of A Bitch

Johnny Weir is a skater and probably the most flamboyant poof in the history of anything. He makes Liberace and Rip Taylor and Paul Lynde and Waylon Flowers and Truman Capote and all of Depeche Mode and The Pet Shop Boys and Soft Cell look
like Marines in the act of knifing Muslims in the face repeatedly and with a fury until they are dead, along with all their children. He is very VERY effeminate, in other words. He apparently is also the only person who is in the public arena who has a set of balls. Which is kind of weird because he probably dreams of having a vagina. Anyway he told PETA, the people who throw ink and paint on women wearing mink coats, he told them all to go fuck themselves. Nobody talks to PETA this way. They are all afraid. It's like telling a Muslim that Mohammed was a Jew faggot, that Allah is a goat, and that Islam is a pesthole full of child molesters. All of which statements are true by the way. So they couldn't get anywhere with him so they started tormenting his seamstress costume-maker. He told them, hey, leave her alone, she's just doing what I told her, you come see me with your bullying shit, you got a problem, back offa my employee. Shit, Al Capone couldn'ta said it better. I'm startin' to like this pansy.

Animal rights group unhappy with Weir wearing fur

CHICAGO (AP)—Friends of Animals posted an open letter to U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir criticizing him for having fox fur on one of his costumes and asking him to stop wearing fur.

The animal advocacy group also contacted his costume designer, Stephanie Handler, on Tuesday.

“I totally get the dirtiness of the fur industry and how terrible it is to animals. But it’s not something that’s the No. 1 priority in my life,” Weir said on Tuesday. “There are humans dying everyday. There are thousands if not millions of homeless people in New York City. Look at what just happened in Haiti.

“I tend to focus my energy, if there is a cause, on humans. While that may be callous and bad of me, it’s my choice.”

Weir loves fashion, and his costumes tend to be on the avant-garde—some would say extreme—side. When the three-time U.S. champion redesigned his free skate costume before the U.S. champions, he had Handler add a tuft of white fox fur to the left shoulder.

Weir said he thought the costume was “lovely,” but Friends of Animals disagreed. Foxes are electrocuted or beaten, and their pelts are obtained by skinning the animals alive, said Anai Rhoads, spokeswoman for the group.

“He’s a role model for a lot of people, including other skaters,” said Priscilla Feral, president of Friends of Animals. “When he makes fun of the suffering of animals that are consumed for this frivolous fashion industry and whose lives are sacrificed so he can wear little tufts of fur on his outfit, that’s fair game for comment.”

Weir finished third at the U.S. champs, qualifying for his second Olympic team.

Friends of Animals was not the first group to target Weir. He said he’s gotten letters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and people have sent him videos depicting how animals are treated by the fur industry.

But Weir said this was the first time someone has contacted Handler.

“She did what I asked her to. It wasn’t her choice to make me a costume with fur,” Weir said. “At least directly come to me and yell at me. Don’t attack my peeps.”

Weir said he understands the groups’ objections, but he doesn’t share their point of view.

Besides, he’s not the only skater wearing animal skin products.

“Every skater is wearing skates made out of cow,” Weir said. “Maybe I’m wearing a cute little fox while everyone else is wearing cow, but we’re all still wearing animals.”
